December 5th - Holly
The holly plant has long represented immortality. The leaves represent the crown of thorns worn by our Savior while the red of the berries symbolize His blood.
Somehow she managed to get paint on her eye as well.

December 6th - Christmas Cookies
The origin of the Christmas cookie can be traced back to Medieval Europe. However it wasn’t until the 1870’s that cookie cutters became available in America. Legend says that during the middle ages a woodcarver and his wife made cookie molds to tell the story of Christ’s birth. Cookies were then given, not only as food to the poor, but to share the story of the Nativity.
